good morning everyone
sherie glad that A is ok and also that your skin is getting better... i was telling DH some of Aand your other kid's antics last night, he was loving it - i was telling him how with each bubba we will get more relaxed etc etc and how much i learn from you and your attitude.
MD that must be hard for DH to miss out and to really feel it, these 3 months a lot happens too hey... how long has hebeen gone for now (1 month?) how does DD1 handle it all?
Rainy - soooo cute L crawling over to look at the snow. did you let him touch it at all?
Ange I am loving the olympics!
Babysocks - hi!!! There are a few babies in here walking, lots at the stage of your DD and all except N are crawling!!!! wrt foods - my N ets pretty mich everything now, just depends on textures but he tries it all... he does not eat the sae as us each day but thats more bc of timing than anything else - ie on weekend he does have the same bfast and lunch usually...
afm nothing too exciting really - have been in a bit of a mood all weekend, think the juggling is getting to me and the stress... so need a holiday... not long to go now! N is ok, the conjunc flared up again but seems to be under control and he had a bad night last night, i think maybe he is getting more teeth (tho i cant see anything). off to melbs tomorrow until sun - DH is looking after N wed-fri... (geez i cant wait for all his fam to tell me what a hero he is for that - sorry see themood i am in)
better go, heaps of work today
bbl
ETA Noni and Arte we were posting at same time. WOO HOO to both of you regarding the sleeps!!! Arte - yep we are making progress - he is moving arounda lot kind of rolling and wiggling along the floor - still a long way off though!!

MD - I know what you mean about changes in 3 months. That's how long my parents are away for and she wasn't even crawling when they left and she's almost walking now!
K fell over this morning and knocked her teeth. Blood all over her top and a fair bit on me too. Her gum was bleeding between her top front teeth. They don't look chipped or anything so I suppose I just leave it and see how she goes. I don't think there is anything a dentist or doctor could do. She fell asleep fine for her nap.
Arte - wow, W is really getting better at his sleep isn't he? That was a quick labour - the car wouldn't have even warmed up!
Baby socks - DD is eating most of the family foods, it's really just if we have something spicy or nutty that she doesn't eat it.
Pregpan - we gave your salmon balls another go yesterday and she loved them this time.
Noni - that is great that A slept in her cot all night.
Rainy - good luck at you MCHN appt today. Hope she has some good ideas.
Trill - glad that A is better and your skin as well.
Cally, Alister has done that a few times now and it worries us more than it does them. If the teeth look fine and can't be wobbled etc, then it's fine. It's hard to get a good look at it though when they hurt their mouth.
Pregpan, awww thanks hun It's been a long time since you've been away. You have to have another holiday so I can live vicariously through you again
Arte, sounds like Will has really turned a corner with his sleep. LOL at him getting the speed wobbles.
Noni, *YAY* for Asha's great sleep! Peanut allergies may not present for months after the first exposure. When I had Lindsay he was having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch at 12mths and I didn't even think about it, but I *know* a lot more now kwim? She will probably be fine with it. Alister has had a pillow for months now and it made a difference to him too.
Hi Babysocks. Alister has been walking for nearly 6wks now. Alister's not eating a lot of family foods as we are still having issues with sleep from some foods, so we are just taking it slowly. I haven't had a fussy eater yet LOL so I'm not concerned at this point.
G, I haven't had A weighed by our MCHN in ages either! I hope the new one is better. I think I'll book Alister in when he's 12mths.
Marydean, Awww, poor DH. I can imagine how hard it must be for him I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
AFM - The prodigal Brass Monkey has returned LMAO. I think we are having the coldest weather this year ATM. I have a heap of washing to do, but I can only do the essentials and put it in the dryer because it is just coming over with misty rain every now and then and nothing will dry.
I have to go to school assembly today too and the place they hold it is sooo cold in winter. I will have to really rug up LOL.
Cally, if the teeth are moving at all, take her in to see a dentist. Gosh their mouths bleed a lot, don't they, it always looks like so much more blood than anywhere else. Always a very spectacular injury LOL. I hope she's feeling ok when she wakes up, might be a bit puffy around the mouth?
BBL for personals everyone, just having a quick read when I'm supposed to be packing up the care parcel!
Cally - OUCH poor Katie!!! Glad she is sleeping ok, i reckonthey let you know if something really hurts.... must have been scary for you!
Sherie - we are off to Bali at the end of the month - i cant wait. it is only a week though, so i will prob unwind just in time to wind up again. am looking for where to go for xmas/ny this year - we need a good break. i am thinking maybe sth coast for a week and then melbourne for a week or so...
MD - what's going in the care pack?
Carepacks - usually contain: note/picture from DD and a card from moi, his favorite telly shows burnt to DVD (esp the motor racing!!), some snacks (usually savory, like popcorn, nuts, pastry twistie things), photos, and we also put in things that are related to what we're doing, eg when DD1 and I saw Shrek 3 last year we sent him a box of shrek Frootloops LOL! It was more of a big deal last year but this year he can go out to the shops and they have lots of Australian stuff there.
I tried putting my finger in to see if the teeth wobble but she wouldn't let me. I gave her a bit of cruskit after swimming and she crunched that off without any trouble.
Pregpan - if you want to go to the sth coast over Christmas you better book now - the good places book out very quickly.
Swimming was cold today - we had a substitute teacher and she didn't know how to turn the heater on for the pool. It was 28 (normally 32). Usually we hang around afterwards for freetime during the next lesson but we were all out before the next class got in!
noni e - walking along while holding furnature is a sign of imminent walking! Could be any day now.
artechim - Aurelia's doing well! She's going to bed really late though, that's the only thing. Tonight she went down around 10pm. Last night she woke up in the middle of the night for a party and didn't go back down until the wee hours of the morn! That's so amazing about the lady's labour. I know someone who had a 10 minute labour with her son in the bath . . . and she didn't even know she was pregnant!
pregpan - hope you're feeling better today! Don't worry about bubs not crawling, some never crawl at all. My stepdad never crawled, his mother tells me, but he's whip smart.
Cally - I haven't introduced nuts to DDs diet either. I don't know when I should? I thought 2+ years but really i have no idea!
Trillian - WOW early walker!
My mum (i'm living with my folks atm) keeps leaving the cats bowls on the floor and Aurelia keeps eating the biscuits! It's driving me bananas! On a good note though, Aurelia has started standing up without grabbing onto something first. Seriously, she's gonna walk any day now i'm sure of it!
Babysocks, sounds like she is really close to walking! W didn't figure out standing without pulling up until he had already been walking for a few weeks.
Rainy, I am going to be asking you a million question after you have been to the sleep place. When L is having a nipple in mouth night, do you put your finger in to break the suction first or pull the nipple straight out? I find W wakes up sometimes if I just yank it out.
Clare, lol you plug a wireless router into the internet hole in the wall (I am assuming you have cable or adsl?). Then you set up your computer to recieve a wireless signal from the router so you can access your internet anywhere in the house wirelessly.
Fianne, good to see you back. Very cute pics! We go to playcenter from 9-12 tuesdays and thursdays and a music group on wednesday mornings for an hour, it fills in my week quite nicely.
hey everyone
well we had another all nighter in the cot last night!!! looks like we are turning a corner FINALLY!!!
arte - i really wanna do something like music group or playcentre with Asha i think she is bored.. with no caror anything tho that makes it hard..
babysocks - yeah i am just waiting for her to let go and walk somewhere lol shes still a bit wobly and scared to let go tho so not quite ready..
fianne - wtg two posts in one day! congrats on the walking too
sherie - what is roseola? hope A is ok!! how is he doing now?
rain - glad the mchn was so helpful! good you only have to wait a few weeks instead of 5 for the sleep school too
cassius - i think i will feel better when i get used to it.. atm i am waking up freaking out shes not ok lol coz i am not used to her sleeping for so long without stirring lol..
md - what a cute idea with the pillow case! shame he didnt cry tho (assuming that was ur aim?)
lol gotta go ashas been quiet for a while and i just glanced over and she is playing in a tub of nappy cream eeeeek its always dangerous when they are quiet!!
ahhh my sunday night sleep-through was all but a distant dream come 1am last night...woke to the serene tones of a psychotic baby doing her best impression of a kiss concert...took over an hour and in the end i gave up and gave her boob. feeling rather defeated. this is a new thing for us. have been too lucky in the past with a bub that slept fairly consistently from 6 weeks...
Arte: LOL! ahhh now i get it!! no doubt i will still have to write your post down before i head off to the shops...egad. i am shocking! LOL!
Fianne: i hear ya sista! i guess i am hoping feverishly more than 'knowing' that it is the teeth causing the sleep probs. she is good during the day and it is exhausting trying to implement a 'no-boob' settle at 1 in the morning IYKWIM? what do you do ATM to get her back to the land of snooze?
Noni: how awesome is that?!! IKWYM about not being able to relax! i was the same when L started sleeping through. i would stand at her door waiting to her rustle in the cot! LOL!
Babysocks: LOL! we too have issues with keeping Leila out of reach of the animal's food bowls...what is it with the biscuits that are sooo intriguing??
Rainy: oops on the risotto! and i was PMSL about your DH's comments!! i hope you told him that he can cook it next time! LOL!
anyway best be off, gotta get organised for Mum's group today.
clare- rissotto has been banned from our house. dp threw out the bag of arborio rice and told me i'm never allowed to attempt to cook it again. i can only have it when we go out to restaurants! which by the way, is never!!!
iywym about trying to resettle without boob. it seriously takes hours around here.
sherie- bummer about roseola. lewis had that but luckily it didn't seem to hang around too long. hopefully it's the same for A.
arte- yes i will be taking my paper and pen and writing notes for you!! i'm really looking forward to it. yes i stick the finger in to get him off the boob but he's just so bloody smart about it these days. it's like he can sense the finger is coming and starts sucking like he's in a desert and just found the watering hole!
i'm going to the health food shop soon to buy that wedela powder. hopefully i can get some sleep tonight.
noni- congrats on A sleeping. maybe you should send me down some sleepy vibes!
fianne- where do i start??? tandem feeding is feeding two babies....yes that's right. i'm pg again
Well Friday night was wonderful. I really enjoyed my mumma time. I must say the hotel was really really great it even had a tv in the bathroom. DH took my to Tiffanys and Co on Sat but I didnt buy anything.. Well Girls I am 8 years married today. First year we had not even bought cards either.
Olivia is great and so Is Jordy. Xavier is going to have more grommets on the 26th Aug and these ones should last about 18mths I just hope this will be the last lot.
It's been a long time since you've been away. You have to have another holiday so I can live vicariously through you again 
I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
